A To Z Challenge: Sword Art Online "A Tender Feeling"

For
my first A to Z Challenge ever, I'm highlighting a favorite track from
various science fiction and fantasy movies, games, and TV shows. Feel
free to press play and listen while you visit other A to Z participants.

You thought I was going to do Star Wars today, didn't you? Psych! :D

A fairly recent discovery, Sword Art Online is an Anime that follows the adventures of near-future gamers who are neurologically linked to a Massively Multiplayer Online game (MMO) and can't log out. Any attempt to free themselves from the game, they die. Die in the virtual world, you die in real life. The only way to survive is to defeat the game. How's that for a high-stakes plot? I'm ten episodes into it now, so hopefully the rest is just as good. The chemistry is killer! Enjoy this track from Kajiura Yuki.

Goodness. That's not the type of storyline I'd picture for this piece. Interesting. I found a similar piece from anime not too long ago that was very moving, but definitely didn't seem to reflect the subject of the movie. A different culture, eh?

wow, that was awesome and another good way I can show off what I know to my computergeek kid, to see if he has heard of this! I love when I know something he hasn't found yet in this area of the net!!! thanks! jean :)

Hmm this sounds interesting. Never heard of this anime before, but it's been a long time since watching anything new (or old for that matter). When you give the synopsis, I'm reminded of .hack anime/games. I've never seen or played either of them, so I'm not exactly sure if they are similar beyond the whole "game" aspect.

I like this piece.

Someone mentioned it being on Netflix, so if that's Instant streaming I may check it out.
